Environmentally aware bishop pledges not to fly for a year

Date added: 8 February, 2007

Bishop Chartres chose the “gold standard” of no flights at all.     Last July the
bishop was criticised when he claimed the “selfish” choices of flying on holiday
and having a large car were “a symptom of sin” – of ignoring the consequences
of one’s actions. It led to questions about his air travel and his chauffeur-driven
car, which the bishop insisted he needed for his diocese work – and which turned
out to be a hybrid model.
